🦷 We’re still here, no less determined. @wesstreeting, you welcomed our committed position in being a critical friend to you and government. Demonstrating your commitment by continuing discussions with us alongside your colleague @PreetKGillMP & @DHSCgovuk would be welcomed. 🙏

🦷 We have requested a meeting with Victoria Atkins MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk #NHSdentistry #dentalcrisis

[Toothless in England @englandsteeth]

🦷 Been thinking about creating a podcast series. Good idea?
RT once you’ve voted for greater reach.

🦷 “75 years on from when it was born, NHS dentistry is in such a sorry state that it's nearing the end-of-life cycle. But Westminster can, once more, prioritise the nation's oral health and prevent it from reaching the point of no return.” #NHS75 #NHS #dentistry

[nottsteeth @nottsteeth]

🦷Exactly this. We need an immediate resolution to this crisis before it reaches the point of no return. Too many people are suffering incredible pain because they cannot see a dentist regularly or even at all. #NHSDentistForAll #ResolutionNow

Largely thanks to the publicity generated by @englandsteeth and @BDA, the Government, at least APPEARS to be listening now to concerns about NHS dentistry. My latest article in @theprobemag (page8)

🦷 We're taking Toothless in England to Westminster!

If you or anyone you know has any stories about access to NHS dentistry in the area, please get in touch. We'll make sure your voices are heard at the roundtable! #NHSdentistry

🦷 Sara Hurley is to step down as Chief Dental Officer for England. Her tenure ends with the knowledge that NHS dentistry has been brought to its knees under her watch. Access to dental care for young families and the elderly must be her successor’s number one priority.

🦷Everyone should have access to an NHS dentist.

It's already a postcode lottery and yet more practices are set to close.

Our wonderful friends at @englandsteeth are campaigning for universal access to affordable dental care. 💙

We really appreciate you showing the world how far this country has fallen when it comes to providing for the oral health needs of children and adults.

This current crop of politicians in Westminster need their heads banging together. #NHSdentistry

[Toothless in England @englandsteeth]

🦷 Great discussion about the difficulties in accessing NHS dentistry on @TalkTV with @JuliaHB1 who was just speaking to @len_dent.

🦷 If you think that putting up NHS dental charges in England by 8.5% today will somehow address the dental crisis, give your head a wobble. #NHSdentistry

🦷 Thank you @sarahRbakerDPH for your support and for sharing this with your followers.

We’re at a loss as to why @BrineMP and @CommonsHealth doesn’t want his NHS Dentistry inquiry to hear what we have to say when it sits next. 🤔
